| Description of the problem | Bought brand new. With 4700 miles put on it, it had lost oil and stalled several times. My wife was driving. We took it straight to the dealership where we bought it. Come to find out, it burns oil at an accelerated rate. Many vehicles with this motor, 2. 4l multiair, are having this problem. Engines are having to be replaced, when they are still new. When running low on oil, the vehicle suddenly shuts down with no warning, lights, indicating its out of oil and that could be very dangerous. If on a highway or wherever there is heavy traffic. Definitely see a bad accident happening. A new car should not be burning oil at an excessive rate. Please look into this. Jeep/fca seem like nothing is being done about this. I called jeep right before writing this, and the customer service rep hasn't heard about it. The dealership where i got it has replaced 15 of these motors already. Thankyou |
